Buenos Aires Lyrics

(EVA and MAGALDI arrive in Buenos Aires)

 

 EVA

 What's new Buenos Aires?

 I'm new--I want to say I'm just a little stuck on you

 You'll be on me too!

 

 I get out here Buenos Aires

 Stand back--you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me

 Just a little touch of star quality!

 Fill me up with your heat, with your noise, with your

         dirt, overdo me

 Let me dance to your beat, make it loud. let it hurt,

         run it through me

 Don't hold back you are certain to impress

 Tell the driver this is where I'm staying

 

 Hello Buenos Aires!

 Get this--just look at me, dressed up somewhere to go

 We'll put on a show!

 

 Take me in at your flood, give me speed, give me lights,

         set me humming

 Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up with your

         nights, watch me coming

 All I want is a whole lot of excess

 Tell the singer this is where I'm playing

 

 Stand back Buenos Aires!

 Because you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me

 Just a little touch of star quality!

 

 And if ever I go too far

 It's because of the things you are

 Beautiful town--I love you

 And if I need a moment's rest

 Give your lover the very best

 Real eiderdown--and silence

 

 You're a tramp, you're a treat, you will shine to the

         death, you are shoddy

 But you're flesh, you are meat, you shall have every

         breath in my body

 Put me down for a lifetime of success

 Give me credit--I'll find ways of paying

 

 Rio de la Plata! Florida! Corrientes! Nueve de Julio!

 All I want to know!

 

 Stand back Buenos Aires!

 Because you oughta know what'cha gonna get in me

 Just a little touch of

 Just a little touch of

 Just a little touch of star quality!
